“These are very delicate and the best I have had. My ex was a fanatic when it came to onion rings, and thought this recipe to be the best he ever had. I have also made other veggies in this batter. It can be refrigerated or frozen, then reheated in oven or microwave. Carbonated water can be substituted for beer in this recipe.”

This recipe was GREAT! I made a few small changes. I used O'Doul's instead of real beer, I added about 1 1/2 t. Old Bay Seasoning along with the salt and pepper. And last, but not least, after coating the onion rings with the batter, I dipped them in panko bread crumbs. WOW!! Extra crunchy and beautiful golden brown! Left my camera at work, so took a pic with my phone but can't figure out how to send it to the computer from the phone. Will post a pic as soon as I get that taken care of. :-) Thanks for sharing this recipe...it is wonderful!

Thank for sharing this recipe. It is so simple and so yummy! It is crispy and stays that way, even my picky eaters loved it. We also used it with broccoli, sweet potatoes, which turned out great. Batter need time to get crispy, so it's great with veggies... not so much with fish, shrimp, and the like. Far as people saying it needs seasoning... well... we love to dip, so not necessary!

Easy and effective! I prefer more flavor so I would add more salt/seasoning the next time, but that is of course to taste. I used MGD so the beer flavor was light, maybe a fuller bodied brew would give it a bolder flavor. At it's core it is a good batter recipie and would work well for many foods.

Simple and very delicious. Everyone raved. :) The batter only covered 2 medium-sized sliced onions for me though (but I was pretty generous in coating them). I also fried them in about 2/3 palm shortening and 1/3 coconut oil (vegetable oil is very UNhealthy). Will definitely make again.

Great batter and teriffic onion rings. My wife and kids loved them. I opted to use Perrier instead of beer. Worked great. Also - I added a dash of Cajun seasoning. This recipe easily converts for smaller portions. I reduced everything by a fourth as I really only needed to use one onion to make wonderful rings to top some burgers from the grill. I can see myself using this batter to coat fish on nights I'd like to indulge in pub style fish and chips with a beer. Great onion ring recipe!
